Hi, could someone point me to a good source how to use that (with ubuntu and Tomcat 7)?
The internet is full of selfmade /etc/init.d/ scripts, but mostly it isn't used it as a real service (jsvc). Keyword: bin/*daemon.sh* Even the books "Apache Tomcat 7" and "Tomcat 7 Essentials" are not talking about it. On the docs I've found this [0]: cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin tar xvfz commons-daemon-native.tar.gz cd commons-daemon-1.0.x-native-src/unix ./configure make cp jsvc ../.. cd ../.. But what about: * set env. variables (maybe: catalina.sh?, /etc/profiles?) * adjust the heap size * logging to the right directory (like: /var/log/tomcat/...) * specifying the User: "tomcat" Best Regards, Christian.
